- - Engineers seek to address treatment deficiencies, research disparity in pelvic organ prolapse
    Though not life-threatening, pelvic organ prolapse is a debilitating condition that affects half of all women over the age of 50 and is difficult to treat. A recent grant from the National Science Foundation equips Virginia Tech researchers with the goal of improving overall treatment approaches.
- - Wayne Scales named J. Byron Maupin Professor of Engineering
    Scales joined the Virginia Tech faculty in 1992 as an assistant professor and became an associate professor in 1998, a professor in 2006, and the founding director of the Center for Space Science and Engineering Research in 2007.
- - Charles Clancy named Bradley Distinguished Professor in Cybersecurity
    Clancy has built a distinguished career through his pioneering research in the fields of communications security, cognitive radio, and cryptographic authentication, and broader impact to the university’s growth of programs in cybersecurity.
- - U.S. Department of Energy awards Virginia Tech researchers $1.8 million to tackle challenges facing U.S. power grid
    Solar and wind energy sources rapidly change or vary throughout the day, presenting a new challenge to the grid.
- - Home of the future takes first place at international competition
    After years of research and development contributed by over 100 Virginia Tech students and faculty, the FutureHAUS Dubai team has officially built the world’s best solar home.
- - House of the future and team that built it head to international competition
    FutureHAUS Dubai, an innovative, interdisciplinary, and ambitious project to design and build a futuristic, modular smart home, is the lone American team competing against 14 other university teams at the Solar Decathlon Middle East in Dubai.
- - Virginia Tech researchers using brain-inspired methods to improve wireless communications
    The team has suggested a method to train the artificial neural network to operate more efficiently on a transmitter-receiver pair using a framework called reservoir computing.
- - What do drones, augmented reality, and quadditch have in common?
    Virginia Tech received a $1.5 million National Science Foundation grant to study the use of unmanned aircraft systems for inspection of civil infrastructure.
- - Electromagnetics open textbook reduces college costs for undergraduate engineering students
    Electromagnetics Vol. 1, authored by Associate Professor of Engineering Steven Ellingson, has been downloaded over 2,000 times and viewed by readers in more than 40 countries.
- - U.S. Department of Energy awards Virginia Tech an electric vehicle cybersecurity grant
    Electric vehicle systems interact with the physical world and present unique security challenges.
- - Sea urchins may be key to developing lightweight engineered cellular materials
    Studying the sea urchin is part of a $540,000 National Science Foundation grant being investigated by Ling Li.
- - Robert W. Hendricks honored with emeritus status
    A member of the university community since 1986, Hendricks made significant contributions to the understanding of materials that aided other engineers in their work for design and analysis, especially as it related to electronics and corrosion.
- - Virginia Tech receives Department of Defense instrumentation awards
    The awards will enable the university to support research and education in autonomous underwater vehicle, submarine, and ship hydrodynamics.
- - Recent graduate wins Gates Cambridge Scholarship, aims to unlock quantum computing
    Renewable energy. Transportation. Medicine. Instead of pursuing just one of the many fields that he has a passion for, Romain Debroux ’16, MS ’18 wants to make a fundamental impact on all of them though quantum computing — a technology that has the potential to radically transform computing capability.
- - The brain speaks in calcium; Virginia Tech researcher to build computational translator
    While astrocytes are known to protect and support the brain, researchers are still puzzling over what role they play in brain diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, stroke, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. Guoqiang Yu is working to develop new computational tools to interpret and analyze astrocyte activity data.
- - Vassilis Kekatos receives NSF CAREER award to diagnose today’s power grid with potentially transformative technique
    Kekatos and his team hit upon a technique called grid probing to generate the information needed about what is often called the world’s largest machine.
- - Yang (Cindy) Yi earns NSF CAREER award to build 3D integrated circuits inspired by human brain
    “My dream for this technology is that it will improve the quality of human life,” said Yi. “We want to build chips to model some of the lost or damaged brain functions, allowing people who have suffered some brain injury to reclaim their former lives or move forward to new ones.”
- - FutureHAUS Dubai takes shape at Virginia Tech’s Research + Demonstration Facility
    Led by the College of Architecture and Urban Studies, students from five Virginia Tech colleges will compete as the only U.S. collegiate team in the Solar Decathlon Middle East in Dubai, November 2018. The team now has three months to complete the world’s smartest modular solar home – a prototype they hope will become a global model for housing sustainability.
- - Wei Zhou receives Young Investigator Award to use photons and electrons to peer inside the cell
    Zhou received a Young Investigator Award from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research to develop a nanoscale multimodal transducer — a miniature device that takes advantage of optical and electrical properties at the nanometer level — to monitor and control the biological processes unfolding inside a living cell.
- - Virginia Tech agBOT autonomous watermelon harvester takes top prize
